This was one of the first wines early on in my career that taught me the transcendence of wine. Chateau-Grillet, an appellation committed only to the production of Viognier in the most ethereal fashion. We enjoyed this gorgeous 2006 just last night on the island of Saint-Martin. A wine so precisely layered you'll never forget the personality & real depth that Viognier has the ability to display: gorgeous white florals, razor sharp lines of acidity & perfectly ripened guava, honeydew & honeycomb. So happy to have consumed this while in a state of complete relaxation. Experience, after all, reminds us of those moments that brought us to the exact spot that we are today. #grateful

You can't, you won't, and you don't stop (drinking Viognier)! 2006 Grillet is now the sure shot! Damn. Love this. Worth the wait.

So apparently not such a long shelf life. Would have to disagree, 2006 still has it but what struck most was how this wine is a shape shifter. Perfect for apéritif, fish, lamb, seaweed, rhubarb....Not in an insipid way though, surprising and exciting.
